Notasingleknight - wss unhorsed, or even made to reel in hi "l saddle, and the soft eaw dust might very well have been dUpenaed witn. But to ' proceed to particulars: the first knights ' who encountered each other were ''The Knight of the Swan," the Honourable ' Mr. Jerninghara. and "the Knight of the yRad Rote," J. R Lechmere, Esq Hav v: ing taken their places at the extreme ends of the barrier, the knights advanced upon ' each other (one running along each side of the barrier,) and met near the centre, when the Knight of the Swan brought his lance to bear upon the helmet of his oppo nent, breaking the lance by the stroke. The combatants both rode on to the end of the barrier opposite to that from which they started, and again took up their posi tion; a new lance having been put into Mr. Jerningham's hand by his esquire. A second renconntre took place in the same way as before, but nothing decisive oc curred. The combatants passed each other very harmlessly, and at the end of the barrier the armour which covered the neck and head of the "Knight of the Swan's" horse flew of! upon the aaw dust. Thie was the only incident . worth f ot. notice in the fi rat tilt. ' Next appeared the Earl of Eglinton, Lord of the Tournament, and the Mar .'' quest of Water ford. Knight of the Dra gon. In 4 the first encounter, Eglinton came tilt upon the shield or his opponent; but without producing any effect; the Mar quess kept hit seat notwithstanding,; A second course followed, when the Earl broke his lance over the iron head of the Marquess, which was of course nothing the worse for it This was thought, how over, a decided hit on the part of the noble earl, and the combat was ended the E i rl of Eglinton being the victor-. His lord ship, attended by his esquires and pages, then, rode to the front of the canopy on the grand stand, and made a lowlc ob, i eance to the " Queen of Beauty," who 'kindly awarded praises to the " gen:le jCnight" for hit knightly behaviour. The next display of chivalry was made by Sir. P. Hopkins, "the Knight of the burning Tower," and Mr. Lechmere, "the Knight of the Red Rose." In the firM encounter the Knight of the Red Rose," snapped his spear over the helmet of his opponent, who rode on scatheless o the end of the barrier. In the second course, : the "Knight of the Burning Tower" per formed what was considered a master niece Of tiltine. bv dillndoincr nari nt tl.u elmet of Lechmere. and making it spin Wgb into the air. This was decidrdlv the hardest hit mada during the whole riuiviuoa. a laira oniei took place, when Sir P. Hopkins broke hjs lanre over the shield of Mr. Lechmere, and was the victor. He then made his obeisance to the "Queen of Beauty," and received the acknowledgments, due to the brave. v Lord Glen Iyon, "the Knight of the Ga el," was then met by Lord Alford, "the Knight of the Black Lion." The first course was a miss; the second ditto. In the Third eoqrse the ' Knight of the Gael" smote the plumes from the helmet of the "Black Liots" and the-' Black Lion." in return, broke his lance over "the" Gael;" but on what part ofe?the armour the tilt fell we did not observe. Lord Alford was the victor, and having paid homage to the Throne of Beauty," was also re ceived with a smile, and an acknowleg rnent of his knightly behaviodr. A combat with the two handed sword here took place between a Mr. Mackay. am actor, and a soldier, when Mackay was declared the. victor. Tfle fifth display of tilting brought once gmere upon the lists the Marquess of Waterford and ray Lord Alford. This combat differed nothing from the former; "Waterford brake the most lances, and was the victor. The "Queen of Beauty!1 com mended bim ak a good and courageous knight; and here the tilting ended for the day.; -.'-v--1" '-.:. I - ; Long before the tilting concluded; the immense assemblage had begun to ci s perse. . It rained heavily the whole time. Lady Seymour left the ground, as she en lVel Jitn he ca"iag'.

I ht orb of day had! now bedecked, in golden lustre, every obj"Ct in nature, inspiringjoy and gladness: in the hearts of all abound Now did we look forthe bustle- and splen dour of a tournament as was in the olden time, and we were not disappointed. The list presented a scene of d;ssling splendour the Grand Stand Vas occu pied as before,! and the general effect of the lovely facei and gay costumes was so much heightened as to attract attention from almost every other object. The procession; moved in nearly he same order as on the firt day. The Q,ueen of Beauty and her guard of aldy arches in green velvet dresses, trimmer with ermine, now rode their palfreys. The Queen herself wore a" coronet and caul network richly gilt, over the neck and breast, a crimson robe trimmed with ermine, and richly embroidered gauntlet. Miss M' Donald, lady in waiting on the Qoieen, wore a rich crims'on and crimson and black velvet dress, trimmed with er minewhich was much praised. Lady Montgomery was attired in a black veU ret dress, richly trimmed with gold The CounUss of Mexborough wore an easterp costume, whieh attracted much attention, as did also a Very handsome dress worn by Miss Stuart de R ithsay. .

The tilling wet on with great spirit, and there was a splendid ball in the Castle in the evening. ;.. i i' ' There is a fear tree 527 yw old, standing at the corner of 13th street and 3d avenue.

Young ladies in the United States "come Out," or 'enter company," at see n teen or eighteen years of age; otnet:mes eveu before they have left school. .Thfs last practice 1 cannot help considering extremely pernicious ; it distracts he young mind from aU stoJy, and introdu ces similar subjects of conversation among still younger girls who are not destined to go out into the worid for two or three years to come A young lady whom 1 knew in one of the Atlantic cities, the d.iug" ter of a gentleman in a hign situa tion, and remarkable herstlf for nairele and quickness, told me. that when she was at school, some of the elder s-cholar used to go out frequently to evening par ties, and when! they returned, they describ ed to the younger ones the partners whom th v had danced with, and whatever had afforded them food for observation and amusement. The accuracy of the account given to me wis indubitable; for mv clever informant mentioned to me the so briquets by which several of the young men in society were known among her school-companions, and they were droll,, but faithfully . descriptive. Thi system may be considered harmless by some people and dangerous by others: without investigating the subject too minutely, i ihink all ntust agree thnt it h.s a tenden cy to unsettle the mind for serious sludv. Young ladies enjoy much greater lib erty in America than in England or Fra nee; they walk unattended by a ser vant, and frequently receive the. visits of gentlemen m the drawing-room during the morning: thus, either :in the house, or in walking, or in riding, a young lady can enjoy as much of the sorirty of an agreeable friend as their mutu-il inclina tions may dictate, without the restraints of the presence of a mother or any other third pai ty. This habit of life gives an independences thecharacter which forms its mot striking feature in the eye of a lor- igner. Neither are th ir opinions nor their studies subject to Very severe mat- r n il scrutiny : 1 nave, upon Several occa sioiis, heard a you g lady openly main tain Unitarian Opinions with a Ctlvinis tic mother in the room, and discuss some of the doctrines of H bbes or Voltaire with much quickness rd freedom. Notwithstanding the numerous exrep tions :o the above remarks, they are gen erally applicable; and 1 doubt not that the inference drawn from them by an English mother would be, that a woman .-oeducat d must be lax in her moral and religious principles Such an inf rence might probabiy be correct, if one individ ual were so brought up in England, un der a system different from that generally pursued, and therefore uncontrolled by the incalculable po.ver of custom and public opinion ; but it would be altogeth er inapplicable to America, where the standard of female virtue is at least s high as in any country in Europe Oa the other hand,' if it be infer ed trom these observations, that I preler the system pur Sued in. America to that observed in Bii t;iin, the mfertnee will be also incorrect; for. although exercised within the bounds of propriety, that very independence ol oianner and opi'iion to which 1 have be forealludeu, as forming a striking femile characteristic in A neiica. temls'in a cer tain degree to impair that modest reserve, that gentle bish'u loess, that "coy submis sion" and "sweet reluctance," which 1 have always considered the most attrac tive and endearing attribute s of woman This is a point upon whi h I may be pe culiarly sensitive; but it has occurfd to me more than once, when enjoying an agreeable tete a tetc, either in the draw ing rootn, or in the suinmer evening stroll, that the concession ot such privilege to an ordinary acquaintance is an infringement of those rights which are in England re served for the most select friendship, or for the nearest kindred. This feeling would force itself Upon me ; but it must be owned that there is something charm ing, and even flattering, to a foreigner un accustomed to these habit?,, in the inno cent fearlessues with which a young maiden confides herself to his s ciety and protection. Any attempt to avail himself of that opportunity for doing or saying inything that a mother's presence might not sanction, would, doubt ess, be met with desetved resentment nd scorn. A Victim A grandson of the pat:ot statesman Gov. Hancock, was br tught up to the Boston Police Court on Thurs day as a common drui kurd. He had on a tattered frock coat, out at tbe.eluows nd rustyr with age, coarse trowsers, dir ty and, ragged, old pumps, so broken that his unwashed stockings wereseen through them., and without vest or cravat.

Macon, and Cherokee counties, N Carolina; by a Convention which as?em bled at Ashrille on th- 4th of; July last. It embdie a plain statement ftf farts, th force of which, we should suppose, could not be resisted. The. immense benefit which would accrue j to the old s'ates hy the passage of Mr. Clay's bill, and the vital injury, as wll 1 n fraud; which will b- inflicted upon-them by the conumm tion of the dishonest schemes.of a portion of the Van Buren party, with the Presi dent at their head, cannot but be apparent to ail who are candid enough to give the subject an impartial examination : " The nett . suhject, fello v eiiixens, to which we desire to call your attention, is one of vast moment to everv State in the Union. At the close of the Revolution. N Carolina ceded that portion of her territo ry which constitutes the preaem Stite of Tennessee, to the General Government to become a common fund for the use and benefit of all theStitesin proportion, to their share in, the general. charge and ex penditure.' Virginia? and other stales made s'nilar donations. Since then the territories of L'uisana and Florida have been purchased bv the United States, and in eons-quince thereof, an agregrite amount has been paid out of the common treasury of forty eight milli ois of dollars " Of these lands, the common property of all the people of ttie U iited States, there still remain unsold not less than one thou sand millions of acres. If it were all sold at o e dollar and a quarter per acre, the low est rate at which any portion of the pub lic domain has yet been sold, it would produce the immense sum ol twelve hun dred and fifty millions. Tiisdivjded fairly among the States, according to their fede ral popul ition by the last census, would give to North Carolina upward of 60.000. 000 of dollars. "The. interest of this sum for one year, is three millions; $600,000 more than the whole of our State tax has a uounied to in fifty years. That all the public lands are worth that pricejwe do not pretend; but there can be no doubt that while some portions of it are worth more than twenty dollars per acre, much the larger mouut vill.in time be sold at the average of the minimum price of one dollar and a quar ter. In fact, these lands have been sold at the rate vf several millions annually. " A proposition has been several times, j introduced into Congress by Mr. CiayJ (and which once passed both Houses ) to divide the proceed arising annu illy from the sales of the public lands, eq-iitably among ali the States This measme, so ju5t and fair in itself, Mr. Van Buren has solemnly declared can receive no favor from him ; and he has thrown the whole of his olnVial influence against it. He recommends that toe United Stitt s shall cease, hs soon as prjicticable, to dt-rivt auv benefit trom the public domain, that the price shall be reduced as birelyo pay the expense of surveying and selling it, and that the whole shall ultimately be. surrendered to the States in which if ma j happen to !ie "Several b'lls have from lime to time been introduced into Congress by repre sentatives from the Nevv SMies.the object of which is in accordance.' with these views oft he President.

"The money which our state h is re eehtly invested in internal improvement, and also the fund out of which our last Legislature has proposed to establish a system of Common Schools, were chiefly obt lined in thi way;! yet this sum is much smaller than what we should "ha ve pos sessd if the land bill, as originally pro posed by Mr. Clay, had been adopted. W- have9 thus, fellow citizens, placed be fore us for our adoption, these two oppo site schemes ; the one advocated by most of the Whig, that the Government shall retain the public lands and divide the proceeds equally among all the States; the other, supported by the President that ol surrendering them entirely to the new States.

In 1333, the imporis were not larger than in 1318. it is very triie th t the value put upon goods has greatly diminished, but the increase of manufactures in this coun tr has made up the difference between the consumption of a population of eight millions in 1815, '16.
